A 70.0-kg person throws a 0.0420-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 35.0 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 57.0 kg, c

atches the snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 2.20 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged?

Answer:

so throwers new velocity = 2.18032m/s

so catchers new velocity = 0.02577m/s

Explanation:

Directly by conservation of momentum we can write

m_1u_1+m_2u_2= m_1v_1+m_2v_2

let x be the thrower's new velocity

(70+0.042)×2.2 + 57×0 = 70× x +0.042×35 +57×0

x = 2.18032m/s

so the velocity of 70 kg man = 2.18032m/s

so throwers new velocity = 2.18032m/s

now again by conservation of momentum

0.042×35 = (57+0.042) ×y

y = 0.02577m/s

so catchers new velocity = 0.02577m/s

Two equally charged, 1.00 g spheres are placed with 2.00 cm between their centers. when released, each begins to accelerate at 2
Leya [2.2K]
1) Force = m*a = 1.00 g * (1kg / 1000 g) * 225 m/s^2 = 0.225 N

2) Charge

Force = K (charge)^2 /(distance)^2 => charge = √ [Force * distance^2 / k]

k = 9.00 * 10^9 N*m^2 / C^2

charge = √ [0.225 N * (0.02 m)^2 / 9.00* 10^9 N*m^2 / C^2 ]

charge = 0.0000001 C = 0.0001 mili C

A stuffed toy with a mass of 0.900 kilograms sits on the edge of a bed at a height of 0.830 if the toy falls off the bed what wi
Olenka [21]
Mechanical energy (ME) is the sum of potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE). When the toy falls, energy is converted from PE to KE, but by conservation of energy, ME (and therefore PE+KE) will remain the same.

Therefore, ME at 0.500 m is the same as ME at 0.830 m (the starting point). It's easier to calculate ME at the starting point because its just PE we need to worry about (but if we wanted to we could calculate the instantaneous PE and KE at 0.500 m too and add them to get the same answer).

At the start:

ME = PE = mgh
ME = 0.900 (9.8) (0.830)
ME = 7.32 J

Which describes the relationship between photon energy and the color of light?
Andrew [12]
Photon energy is directly proportional to the frequency of electromagnetic radiation.
(That would also mean that it's inversely proportional to the wavelength.)

So the photon energy increases as you scan the chart of visible colors
moving from the red end of the rainbow to the blue end.

How was the speed of light determined
goblinko [34]
Presently, the speed of light in a vacuum is defined to be exactly 299,792,458 m/s (approximately 186,282 miles per second). . An early experiment to measure the speed of light was conducted by Ole Romer, a Danish physicist, in 1676. Using a telescope, Ole observed the motions of Jupiter and one of its moons, Io
